I was approached by Roberto Gaetano (former ALAC Member, former ALAC Liaison to the ICANN Board, former BCEC Chair, former Vice-Chair of the ICANN Board) who is the Chair of the Board of the Public Interest Registry (PIR), the operator of .ORG and now .NGO/.ONG as well Chinese, Hindi and Russian equivalents of .ORG.as several. As you likely know, PIR is a not-for profit organization created by the Internet Society.

PIR has a Community Advisory Council for the .NGO/ONG TLD (see http://pir.org/products/ngo-ong-domain/) and asked if the ALAC was interested in having a representative on that Council. After having discussed this with a number of At-Large colleagues, I hope no one will object to my agreeing to do this.

Following discussion with Roberto on exactly what is required, I will be sending out a call for volunteers.

We have been asked to identify a small number of candidates that we believe would do a good job. The PIR Nominating Committee will select one person to serve on the Advisory Council.

Alan
